Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 – Henry’s Canon Armor Sets Guide (Stats and More)

by

Have you grown tired of experiencing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in its traditional form? If your aim is to authentically roleplay as the widely accepted Henry (though you’re essentially crafting your own narrative), by mirroring the attire he wears in promotional materials, then this guide – compiled based on community recommendations – may provide some useful insights.

Henry’s Canon Armor Sets Guide (Stats and More)

At the outset, it’s important to note that when we use the term “canon” here, it refers to the characteristics of Henry that you will need to define based on your actions within the game. Primarily, this is intended to aid you in attempting to replicate the attire that Henry has been depicted wearing in promotional materials.

To kick things off, let’s discuss the initial visual – the game’s artwork. Here, our protagonist is depicted donning some worn plate armor over a reddish, slightly tattered shirt. However, it’s important to note that this specific appearance doesn’t seem to be replicable within the game itself.

Rather than trying to replicate his appearance directly within the game, consider attempting to mimic it by referencing the trailers, specifically the CGI version. The CGI look is more achievable using the in-game resources. Here’s a suggested combination of items to help you achieve the same visual style:

  • Long purpoint – This has a decent amount of slash and blunt protection, though a bit lacking in defense against stab attacks.
  • Quilted hose – This provides a decent amount of protection all around, especially against slashing attacks.
  • Noble’s pouch – Gives a decent amount of item slots.
  • Noble’s belt – Gives a decent amount of item slots.
  • Mail collar – Provides a decent amount of slash and blunt protection, and is one of the easier to identify pieces shown in one of the trailers. Try to get one with a fairly neutral trim color.
  • Saxon hauberk – Provides a decent amount of slash and blunt protection as well, though not so much against stabbing as it is chainmail.
  • Noble cuirass – Provides a lot of protection against stab and slash attacks, but not so much against blunt force. Try to use one without a gold trim if you can.
  • Noble’s plate legs – This gives similar defense bonuses as the cuirass and is relatively light as well.
  • Nuremberg gauntlets – Provides similar defense bonuses as the previous two pieces, as expected from metal armor.
  • Silesian brigandine sleeves – Again, similar defense bonuses as the previous pieces and features a few bits of plate armor across the leather parts.
  • Embroidered hood – Gives barely any stats at all, but you should get the black and gold version of this item to recreate the look.

This pricey collection lacks several components, notably a helmet, which is not included in the design. Keep in mind that if you decide to utilize this equipment setup, it leaves your head area exceptionally exposed to impacts, making it quite susceptible.

As an alternative, you could opt for the Noble’s Bascinet to achieve high stats and a visually striking resemblance reminiscent of the trailer. With all the necessary components in place, your Henry character will now bear a likeness similar to the depicted one.

After the prologue, you can effortlessly replicate the same expression he has throughout the game by utilizing these approximate items:

  • Hauberk long – Decent slash and blunt defense, with a pretty weak stab protection as it is made of chainmail.
  • Mail collar – Has decent blunt and slash protection. Try to get one with a neutral trim rather than a colorful one.
  • Milanese brigandine – It provides a recent amount of stab and slash defense, but is weak on the blunt side as with most metal armors. Get one that is yellow.
  • Milanese plate leg armor – Similar defense stats as the top piece. Get one that has no colored parts if you can for maximum accuracy.
  • Silesian brigandine sleeves – Close defense bonuses as the previous pieces and is pretty much the same thing Henry wore at the start too.
  • Noble’s gauntlets – Also similar defense stats as the previous armor pieces. Get the one that has a darker shade and green cuffs.
  • Long gambeson – it has okay blunt and slash defense. Get a version that is on the dark green side, as it is what Henry visibly has in the intro.

Now, you should resemble Henry’s appearance at the beginning of the game quite closely with these pieces. They aren’t terrible stats overall, making them a reasonable choice for use. Unfortunately, this specific ensemble doesn’t include a helmet.

To put together an ensemble similar to Henry’s look towards the conclusion of the game, here’s a guide for you. While many of these items might already be part of your wardrobe, I’ve included this list as a reminder since it’s possible some details may have slipped your mind:

1. Item One – Description
2. Item Two – Description
3. Item Three – Description
4. Accessory Four – Description
5. Final Touch – Description

  • Long pourpoint – It has good slash and blunt protection. Wear the one with red and blue colors on it.
  • Noble’s pouch – Gives a decent amount of item slots.
  • Noble’s belt – Gives a decent amount of item slots.
  • Mail collar with badge – This is mainly taken for the defensive bonuses, since it provides a lot of slash and blunt protection but will not be visible in the final look.
  • Mail hood with a coat of arms – This is taken for the exact same reasons as the collar above and will not be visible in the final product as well.
  • Noble’s bascinet – It provides a ton of stab and slash protection for your head, and you should take the one with the red and blue colors as it is what Henry wears too.
  • Noble cuirass – Provides a ton of protection against stab and slash attacks though is weak against blunt as expected from plate armor. Try to use one without a gold trim to match the look.
  • Noble’s plate legs – This gives similar defense bonuses as the cuirass and is relatively light as well. Get one with a gold trim to match the look too.
  • Nuremberg plate gauntlets – Provides a lot of stab and slash protection for your full arms, and you should get the one with a gold trim to be as accurate as possible.
  • Nuremberg gauntlets – Provides similar defense bonuses as the previous armor pieces. Get one with the gold trim just like the others.

Using the provided items, you’ll achieve a likeness that is remarkably similar, if not nearly identical, to Henry’s appearance towards the end of the game, as depicted here:

Or more casually, using conversational language:

By putting on those items, you’ll look pretty much like Henry does at the end of the game, with a resemblance that’s almost spot-on.

In the game, there are several appearances you can design. What’s considered “canon” is largely up to your interpretation, as the game doesn’t offer an endless variety of options. Consequently, it may not always be feasible to achieve a look that’s perfectly “accurate” or possible in certain situations.

In summary, these armor sets are quite simple to replicate within the game, with occasional minor discrepancies you can correct on your own. These suggestions are merely ideas that resemble or match the items worn by the character in certain instances.

During your stay, you may find yourself wondering about the function of the items labeled as “horse gear” in the game. These could be additional elements you might consider creating “canonical” versions of, if you’re aiming for a high level of accuracy to the cutscenes and other details.

We offer an informative article about the various horse tack functions in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which could assist you in making optimal decisions and determining if it’s worthwhile to create historically accurate appearances for your gear.
